It’s just under 200K a house which seems pretty reasonable for mobilizing construction crews, materials, and potentially infrastructure for 117 homes.

If you’re gonna build me a quality home for $11,450 (22,900,000/2000) with electric/plumbing/sewage/natural gas/internet service I’d be happy to buy some off you!

Don’t know where you got the idea that houses are super low cost things, but I’d do my best to immediately buy any newly built home for 200K. That’s like the cost of a permanent parking spot in some Ontario cities.

seems like a decent price for Saskatoon homes

A furnace alone is $4-7k, that’s 1/3 to 1/2 the budget.

Good luck living in Saskatchewan without a decent furnace and some insulation.

Capitalism has created this reality that a house needs hundreds of dollars

Hundreds? 🧑‍🍳 🤌💋

You are absolutely smoking crack

I would like to see anyone say that they live comfortably without a kitchen, especially if they aren’t in a financial position or location to easily use/afford restaurants/Uber eats/etc.

I lived in a boarding house for a while, so no personal kitchen. It was okay, and good neighbors was critical to that.

In a sense it’s just roommates you don’t choose.

What kind of dwelling do you currently live in? Need to know the square footage, heating type, have AC?, etc.

That sounds like an outlandish claim. Have you got certified designs and budget documents that show us how to do that? Wait, better hang onto that stuff as a trade secret so you can be the next billionaire and hero to those who struggle to afford shelter.

I don’t think housing would be an issue right now if we could build homes for $12k a pop!
